Ways to communicate our worries for a loved one without offending them
Things to remember
We should be prepared for potential reactions when communicating our worries, as people may interpret it incorrectly and should weigh the pros and cons before deciding.
When to approach
Addressing concerns at a suitable time, avoiding exhaustion, frustration, or anger, and being curious rather than judgmental, is crucial.
Curiosity vs judgement
Curiousness, rather than judgment, allows us to open our minds to potential scenarios and gain acceptance of others' perspectives, ultimately leading to finding common ground.
Open conversations
Instead of immediately seeking solutions, we should initiate further discussions by expressing our concerns.
